I was watching BBC News earlier on, they were talking about the "Digital Revolution", a gentleman was shown loading "We Love Life" into a CD player then listening to Pulp on Spotify. Nice to see it's not been totally forgotten!

That's nice. I was beginning to think I was the only one.

Down the years Pulp have been on the soundtrack on a number of news/documentary items on the BBC.  Maybe I just happen to notice, but it seems quite disproportionate.  Must be a couple of big Pulp fans in the BBC.

This is Hardcore advertised Film Four a few years ago, so there must be some fans on that channel as well.

It's not that surprising surely? They were one of the biggest bands in the UK for a few years.

What surprises me are the tracks they use.  I have heard Roadkill and Inside Susan used, which wouldn't be on many people's radar.   It also suggests someone with a more than superficial knowledge of the group.

Wedding Planner jobs are hair extensions in high demand or how to save money - even if it's your own wedding. Wedding jobs are in demand if you are you good with lace wigs people and enjoy planning and organizing. Do you prefer not to be stuck in an office working 9 - 5? If so there are wedding jobs available and dress up games becoming a wedding planner may be an option for bridesmaid dresses you to consider. wedding invitation wording Even if you've never thought about this as a career option before, you might consider these data before you discard the idea.

Although I can't prove it off the cuff, I am almost certain the first three paragraphs of that review are flagrant plagarism... Or maybe its just that every lazy Pulp review starts off with the same tired refresher course.

I think it's just a repeat of the same story time and time again. Isn't it about time they rejigged it and did Pulp: The Musical ?

 Hmm. I haven't read the article yet, so I'm going to take a guess. Does it start with a Brief History of Cocker, how he took ages getting famous, waggled an arse, decided it wasn't for him and struggled to find peace. That's where my money is...

Can you think of any other band that has to have its history retold in every critical review? Are Pulp's albums really that hard to review on their own individual merits?

If you are going to recap Pulp's history, at least do your homework. When reviews like this one trot out the same lazy story, it seems evident to me that the writer is just cutting the bio from Pulp's music.com page. Wouldn't it be a lovely change to read a review that contrasts WLL with It, since those two albums book-end Pulp's career, and (ahem) 'in many ways' they are conceptually similar... but that would require, like, effort.

The writer at least spared us the arse wiggling incident... maybe our post-MJ world isn't ready to deal with that yet?

It's not really criticism or a review , it's information. they might as well write about the album cover, the length of the album, what the photos in the booklet looks like or where you could get it cheapest. Totally boring.

To be fair there aren't many bands with such a fairytale/bittersweet story like Pulp's but I agree - I get sick of reading it or hearing it over and over again. These days they always go with the Jarvis, who lives in France but sometimes England line.

"So then Jarvis... tell us for the 100th time, What's the difference between France and the UK then?"

I'm sure he's been getting freebies off Eurostar as well!

It's an American site so their audience isn't as in the know about the story or music of Pulp as in the UK, I imagine.

That's a really good point - now I feel guilty for saying something vaguely unpleasant about someone's review - and to boot, they will never read it. And it wasn't that unpleasant in the first place and was just a semi-accurate guess before I read it.

Damned Internet and damned conscience. I should get back to work.

I've contemplated this album cover as my eventual pulp-themed tattoo. It's so beautiful!
